24/7 Out of Hours Veterinary Services for Emergencies - fee adjustments

Attention Clients,

Due to rising costs of providing services at weekends and out of hours, and in order to maintain essential service levels needed by our community, we find it necessary to increase our fees for Saturday morning consultations by a little commencing 6th September 2025. This will assist with additional weekend operating costs. Our reception staff will be happy to let you know the expected fees when you make your booking for a Saturday consultation.

Emergency surgeries and other procedures necessarily done out of hours, weekends and public holidays will also have higher fees effective immediately.

As one of only 2 or 3 veterinary practices offering emergency services between Melbourne and Bendigo we work very hard with the generous cooperation of our vets and nurses to keep out of hours emergency services for pets and farm animals operating. Alternative full-time emergency hospitals involve travel to Melbourne or Bendigo and do not offer farm animal services in any case. We feel it important and a part of our ethical obligations to clients and patients to be there for you when emergencies happen. Unfortunately providing this level of service is expensive and we are very grateful to have a team willing to continue with this level of service in the current situation.
